In this role you will:

• Red team and penetration test AI models, systems, and applications.
• Work with customers, AI providers, and the open-source community to disclose new security issues and help secure their AI solutions.
• Collaborate with engineering and research to design, implement, and report attacks against AI models and applications.
• Generate company awareness via regular engagement with the security community through publishing articles, releasing publicly available tools, and presentations.
• Stay up to date on the latest AI security research, trends, and attack techniques.
• Contribute to the development of internal tools, our AI red teaming product, and open-source projects.

Skills & Experience

We are looking for:

• Strong experience in red teaming and penetration testing.
• Hands-on experience and understanding of attack techniques specific to AI applications (prompt injection, jailbreaking, model extraction, etc.).
• Familiarity with AI red teaming tools and LLM vulnerability scanners (PyRit, Garak, etc.), as well as established pentesting tools (Burp Suite, Nessus, etc.).
• Able to communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and creativity to find and anticipate potential attack vectors against AI applications.
